Abstract
Provided is an expanding rivet connection for the connection of at least two components to be joined comprising an expanding rivet, comprising an expanding rivet body, which is shaped so that it can be inserted through openings into the first component to be joined, and a threaded part, which is shaped so that it protrudes, at least in part, after insertion from the first component to be joined, an expanding rivet mandrel, which is constructed so that it can be pushed through an opening in the expanding rivet into the expanding rivet body in order to protrude through the first component to be joined, and a clamping element, which is constructed to be screwed to the threaded part of the expanding rivet in order to connect at least a third component to be joined to the first component to be joined.
Claims14
An expanding rivet connection (100) for connection of at least two components to be joined (21, 22) comprising:
- an expanding rivet (11) comprising
- an expanding rivet body (110), which is shaped so that it can be inserted through openings into the first component to be joined (21), and
- a threaded part (111), which is shaped so that it protrudes, at least in part, after insertion from the first component to be joined (21),
- an expanding rivet mandrel (12), which is constructed so that it can be pushed through an opening (112) in the expanding rivet (11) into the expanding rivet body (110) in order to protrude through the first component to be joined (21), and
- a clamping element (13), which is constructed to be screwed to the threaded part (111) of the expanding rivet (11) in order to connect at least the second component to be joined (22) to the first component to be joined (21) at a distance from each other;
- and
- at least one stop (113) arranged at the expanding rivet (11) at least between the expanding rivet body (110) and the threaded part (111).
